I Love Family

For Doug and I's first Thanksgiving, we went down to my parents house. We stayed at their house from Wednesday evening until Sunday evening; it was great! We had so many good times with them. First, on Wednesday night I introduced Doug to the movie "Elf." It's so funny! We had a good laugh. On Thanksgiving day my grandparents came up to my parents house and we had a feast! All of the food was amazing, I'm pretty sure we all gained a lot of weight. But hey, it happens :). I love being reminded of how blessed Doug and I are. We are such a happy little family of two. I personally am so grateful for my husband, Doug. He helps me so much every day in becoming a better person and a better member of the Church. If I am down, he knows exactly what to do to make me smile and laugh. Not only that, but he tells me how much he loves my smile when I do! He is an angel to me, and the best decision I ever have made or ever will make in my life. I am so excited and lucky to get to spend eternity with him.

On Friday night my family and I went to Salt Lake to watch the light on temple square come on; I love the temple square! It was so neat to see the lights pop on around us. My goodness, temple square is like a little vacation for me. I love going there are walking around. We were able to take some pictures, so here are a few...




I forgot to mention that we rode the new Front Runner down to Salt Lake, it was amazing! Its fast AND you don't have to find parking. Love it.

While we were down at my parents me, my mom, and my sister made a couple trips to Michael's. I love doing crafts, they are so stress relieving and fun for me. With the help of my mom I made a wreath for my front door! It's beautiful. I also painted a Christmas decoration for our home; I still don't know where to put it...

Doug and I are both done with the semester this week! We are so excited to actually have a BREAK with each other. We haven't had one longer than a few days since we've been married. Needless to say, we need it! Plus its the Christmas season, so it makes it that much better. I love him and I am excited to celebrate with him!
